Research ethics

The Research Ethics Committee considers ethical issues related to research and research-related activities brought to its attention by the academic schools, researchers, staff and the wider College community.

The aim of the RCSI Research Ethics Committee (REC) is to ensure the highest standards of conduct in our research and to support staff in pursuing this goal.

The REC also acts in an educational and advisory role regarding ethical aspects of research in order to promote best practice in research conducted throughout the RCSI.

The REC comprises both staff and independent lay members and meets on a bi-monthly basis.
